• 2:01
  Speaker 1: All right, let's jump in West Virginia on the road
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this weekend against UCF. Heck of a.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Game that was fun, exciting.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I think Ross Hodge has a problem.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: What's that what's that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I think he has a issue probably with a lot
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of women. Excuse me, well, you know, and I know
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of guys taking their wife or
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: significant other to dinner on Saturday night celebrating Valentines right
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: there was celebrating Valentine's Okay, and so that game is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: going on. If you had the seven o'clock seating for
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: dinner right by the time Andre's there and the whole thing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Now we're getting like eight twenty eight thirty, and if
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: they're eating in a restaurant that's got anything remotely near
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a television. This is what's happening during that. He sees
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: him down fourteen, and then he sees them down ten
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and then guess what, she is no longer the focus
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of attention Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day was ruined by the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Mountaineer basketball team as they put that rally together. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys out there were paying
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: half attention to their dates and they wanted to see
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the Mountaineers rally and win. So I think as a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: result of that, there's probably some folks out there that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: aren't really happy with Ross.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Oh you're getting this, and if you're watching the video.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: You can see we're at the dinner table when you're
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: getting this.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, there's probably technically now, I guess
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you don't even have to have a TV in the restaurant.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You can have it on your phone.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I mean, there are a lot
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: of women at that game. I don't know why you
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: have to say it's just the women that have problem.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are a lot of Mountaineer female fans
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in that building.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm aware, but I'm saying back here home, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they weren't em fans watching the game. A lot of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: people were at restaurant watching the game, a lot of female. Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm just saying there's probably some. I guarantee you
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we're going to get a text next show and you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and someone the lady's gonna write in and she's gonna say, yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you're exactly right. My guy wasn't paying attention to me.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Did you get a Valentine from your wife? No? Oh
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you didn't. No. I wasn't even with her this weekend.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: She was out in Georgia somewhere at some wedding, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I was I was in Florida and I actually sorry
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to hear that. Well, Brad didn't either. They didn't. They didn't.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: They don't get it. They don't trade guests.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: But my wife didn't get me a card, and I
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: felt bad because I didn't have one for her. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: wasn't part of the deal.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: This is not a Valentine's This is not a hard
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Valentine's crew.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So what did you do?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Every day is Valentine's Day in the house.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Nice recovery, that's good. Well, what did you so? What
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: did you do? Did you go? Did you go flowers?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Did you go chocolate? Did you go? Card? Card with
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a nice message? So no flowers or chocolate?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: No card with a nice message?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Tight ass, I gave a card. What's a what's the difference?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It's true what I felt bad when there was a
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: card there for me and I didn't have one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, we've got some people.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Although it was a nice recovery. But did that work
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: when you say every day is of Valentine's date?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Dude?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: If Laura happ to be listening as she just drove
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: off the road when I said that, that's couldn't be
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: further from the truth.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Probably, you have a lovely wife and a lovely family.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure it's all stable there, so you're all good.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And I'll push all of my chips in that she's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: not listening.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know she's into basketball now.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: She might be. She's into okay anyway. Seventy four to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: sixty seven the final score. Third time this season in
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Big Twelve play that West Virginia has come back from
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: double digits deficits, double digit deficit on the road three times,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: not once, not twice, but three times. They did it
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Arizona State, and they did it at Cincinnata, and they
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: did it on Saturday.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: By the way, that's a remarkable stat I wanted that's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: a remarkable strata. Don you got to keep saying that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: because that doesn't happen.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So here's the deal. You remember jumping jumping Jack? Yeah, now,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: if he was still with us, find out the last
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: time they got Jack. Give me the last time West
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Virginia won three road games in league play coming back
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: from double digit deficits. I think it speaks incredible volumes
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to what this group and what this staff has instilled
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in these guys. I gotta talk about it. No quit attitude,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: which they tried to they they from the first day
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they walked down the floor. It was gonna be about
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: physical toughness and mental toughness. And these guys don't blink.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: This is it's a two pronged approach here and I
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: echo what you're saying there. This staff does a great
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: job of talking about this, and they go back to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: June Hoppy and there was never a moment where you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: were allowed to hang your head if you missed a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: shot or look down or not engage with your teammates.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: So this staff does a wonderful job without one two.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: This is a roster filled with great guys, like good personality, character,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: friendly guys, good character, and that shows up in these moments.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: You you literally watch this team, Tony, and there there
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: isn't any hanging of the head, and there is no change.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: There's no change on any guy's face when you're down
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: fourteen or up eight. There just isn't. They just they
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: just keep playing. And that doesn't mean you're gonna win
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: every time. I'd prefer we not get down by fourteen
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and have to come back, But that doesn't mean you're
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: gonna win.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Everyone.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: But this there is something to be said, especially in
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: today's day and age, when so many people are moving
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: just for dollars, and culture is hard to establish. You recruit,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: recruit good character guys with a staff that helps push
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that along and foster that, and you get results like this.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I'm a firm believer in that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: That's I don't want to get a hit myself, so
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I won't. But that's my first I'll get into it
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: my obvious observations. Okay, that's my first one.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Cool. Yeah, they don't. One thing that I thought was
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I've never seen before, and that they started teaching this
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: back in June and they were first down the floor.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: If you receive a pass and they're just going up
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and down, you receive a pass and it's a really
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: nice pass and you miss the shot. Okay, they're coached
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to immediately go to the person who threw the pass
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and congratulate that person. Hey, great pass, I'll get the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: next one. Instead of hanging your head and saying whoe
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is me, you give your love to the person that
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: made the play. Those are just that's just one little
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: piece and that's constant. And you know something else I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: didn't know. Have you ever been out there at halftime,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: like when the coaches go in the coach's room before
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: they go in to talk to the team, and all
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the other staff managers and all the support staff and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the assistants. Like when the coaches start to come out
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of the coach's room before they as they open the door,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: all of those staff guys they go in there, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it's absolute screaming, shouting, mayhem, applauding, getting those guys up.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So I blue. Those guys are just sitting in there,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and they were waiting there, waiting. Then these guys weren't
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: running there, and they just take the whole mood and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: kick it up. I've got none the coaches coming. Okay,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: here's what we got to do. And they came out early,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: by the way, Saturday, they came out six and a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: half minutes still left at half my gosh.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was like, oh, that surprised me. I
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: was caught in the back hallway there in it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they came out. They came out early. So anyway,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Of the restroom break you usually get in get out
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: came back coming out. Yeah.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you don't have much time, you gotta have
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: u time hit.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You gotta do much interesting dynamics. All right, let's get
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: into this thing. Three guys before the game with your favorite,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: my favorite, it's time for hoppies. Obvious observations that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Sound brand new, but the things we already knew.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: He got his bomb ready, heaven knows.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Let's take it quick before his lobbous laugh.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Yeahvation boom.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: So I was trying to think of the right word
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: for what we've just been talking about, and I'll steal
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: from Coach Hodge because Brad he used it in post
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: compress conference, and the word is resilience.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Resilient.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: What's resilience is defined is the capacity to recover quickly
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: from difficulties, the capacity to recover. And that's what this
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Mountaineer team. That's not a one off. That's what this
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: team has demonstrated, the capacity to recover. And they've done
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: that again and again. Look, you're on the road, you're
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: down fourteen halfway through the second half. The other team
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: is for the first half of the second half, is
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: doing what they want. It's their game. The way they're
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: playing up and down. You're turning the ball over and
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: that's the time when in a lot of games, when
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: it slips away, right, we go, Okay, it's not our night.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: The other team's on a roll, and instead West Virginia
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: does not lose.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: It's cool.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Even though they're not making shots at that point, you're
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: turning the ball over, not playing well, they show resilience.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: And I think, as you guys point out on broadcast
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: that that UCF got a little tired and a little
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: complacent at that point. And Johnny Dawkins talked about that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: So you can't, you guys said, against West Virginia, against everybody,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: you got to play forty. West Virginia took advantage of that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: They started to get some stops on the defensive end.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: They started making some shots. Honor with the four point play.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: He'd been struggling with a shot. But what's a shooter
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: do if he's struggling, Keep shooting, keep shooting, and not
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: only from outside. He got a big lay up and
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: he got the four point play.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Well, and UCF one of the scripts they let us
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: shoot a great shooter that was struggling. They put him
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: on the free throw line. Yes, that's a lot of
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: times where you see guys break up on our got
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to see some free throws go through and lo and
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: behold what happened here? You go?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Brad as you said, thinking a tweet or
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: text to me or do the gang jessper Floyd was
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: a dude back home, and sometimes when guys go back
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: home what happens, they try to.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Especially for him. He did it the year before. We'll
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: get into that chance.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Moore was big in the first half, and I thought
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: this game was in four parts.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: The first half.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: You say, okay, you're down one, but you say, this
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: game is going the way you wanted to go. They're
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: not going to score eighty. We're fine and down one.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: And then that first part of the second half, it
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: was UCF doing what they wanted to do, which is
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: when I'm down the court, score bunch of points. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: then you did what you wanted to do. So you
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: won three of the four segments in that game, and
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: you made shots down the stretch and made free throws.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Folks is a dude.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: But you did a good job on him.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: In the first half.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Did a great job on him, you know.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: And then he got rolling in the second half, but
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: he had six turnovers, so you worked on him. And
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: the coach Hodge talked about this. He said, two things
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I really appreciate about our guys. They let me coach
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: them hard and direct, and in those moments, those moments,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: those seminal moments, they allow me to be brutally honest. No,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: that's think about this for a second. Is Tony a coach.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: You have a team that's resilient, You have guys who
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: are coachable, you have guys who are listening to the coach.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: You go, well, you of course you listened to the coach,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: not always.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: You know that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I mean there's guys tuned the coach out right, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: they're listening to him and he knows what he's doing.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I mean that that is all all the pieces fitting together,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: which is what you need when you don't have NBA talent.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Necessarily all the pieces fitting together. I think that's critically important.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: That's an obvious but a very good observation on your part. Tony.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: You were referenced in the coach's postgame press conference. He
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: quoted you was saying, mountaineer fans show up.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: It is amazing and a crowd. And what it does
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: again shows you that if we were in a conference
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: geographically near us, we would have just that would be
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a regular turnout. But it was a great gathering of
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: mountaineer fans. Yeah, they were there. Yeah.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: And at the end could hear them Yeah, down the
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: stretch they made a difference. Coach Hodge made reference to that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: So now WVU is tied with b YU in the league.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Quite amazing.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Think about that. At seven and five, you ta us
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: up next, Brett. I know you talk about that. They're
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: really struggling, haven't won a road game. But Coach Hodge
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: said something interesting too, which is as far as he
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: would go, I think, and every sort of giving anybody
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: locker room material, he said, you don't want to give
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: this one back, right, you got one on the road,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: You've gotten a couple on the road. Now you have
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: an opponent that is not one on the road. You're
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: going to be favored. Don't give it back. You got
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: a chance to continue the role. Don't let don't negate
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: this great road win, which might be one of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: best wins of the year. By losing at home against Utah,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: we'll probably talk about the women. They lost to TCU,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: So they lost. That was an important game for them.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: They were up at halftime, but then TCU went crazy
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: shooting in the second half. In West Virginia lost that
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: game fifty nine to fifty Kansas State fires Jerome Tang
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: with cause, with cause, Brad and Tony, you're rolling your
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: eyes at this and Gene Taylor, the ad cided to
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: indirectly the comments Tang made after the loss of Cincinnati
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: where he said, these dudes do not deserve to wear
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the uniform. These dudes do not deserve have to wear
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the uniform. Is that bred with cause?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I would think that ends up in court, And if
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I'm Tang's attorney, I feel I got a good argument there,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: because every coach in America should be fired at some points.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: That seems like a very thin thin case there for
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a school that clearly wanted to get rid of their coach,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: but it backed themselves into a corner with a massive buyout,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: So that will be attorneys will like that one. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: would think.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I think the buyouts eighteen million.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Reportedly reportedly, but someone on the inside told me it's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: more like thirteen. What's thirteen eighteen?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: What's still it's significant?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: So two final points. NBA All Star Game yesterday got
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: me thinking about NBA All Star Games. How Greer from Huntington, Huntington,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: West Virginia native Yeah played for Marshall played for the
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: seventy six ers Tony. He was in ten consecutive All
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Star Games WOW sixty one to seventy averaged eleven points
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: in those games. Will high twenty one in nineteen sixty
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: eight when he was the MVP of the nineteen sixty
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: eight All Star Game when the East beat the West
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: one forty four to one twenty four. Now, obviously you
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: want to know about Jerry West. Sure, Jerry West played
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: fourteen seasons in the NBA. Was selected as an All
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Star fourteen times, all fourteen times, did not play in
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: two of the games because of injuries. In those twelve games,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: he scored a total of one hundred and sixty points.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: In those twelve games, averaged thirteen points a game. Best
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: game was nineteen seventy he scored twenty two. He was
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: the MVP in nineteen seventy two All Star Game when
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: he played played at the form in LA had only
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: thirteen points, but he hit Imagine this, He hit a
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: last second shot of twenty foot jumper to break it tide.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: To win the game for the West. How about that?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Rod Huntley, I think was an All Star once
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: nineteen sixty one, So I was trying to think any
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: was anybody else from West Virginia an All Star? Trying
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: to think Rod Thorne was not?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Was never an All star?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Was never an All Star to mob Interesting.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Finally, finally, on this President's Day, would you like to
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: take a guest at who's generally regarded as the fore

  Speaker 3: a started offense and defense for two undefeated Michigan teams.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Anybody else that was athletic? Yeah, Ronald Reagan was probably
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: in his day. He had no bounce, wasn't twitch. He's
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: not in the top four else, Becier Harry Truman could
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: probably play shortstop.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: George W.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Bush.
• 17:29

• 17:29

  Speaker 3: He played first he played first base.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make him great yet.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: He played first base, hit for the cycle against North
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Carolina and was seriously scouted by the pros. He played
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: in two championship games.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Why are you cringing your lips over there and not laughing?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Seriously scouted.

  Speaker 2: He forgot to order his meal. He was too big,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: he couldn't forgot to put his order in Okay. Luckily,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: the managers do a great job. They have an assortied
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: array of extras for people like him that forgets so
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So then so I ate that I was content. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: was good. So then we get off the bus, we
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: get on the plane. We're coming on the plane, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: our good buddy Stone, who's on staff, he was Stone.

• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the one that they ordered for me. It's a tony
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: on it. And so now it's like, I don't know
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: what time it is. It's late. It's very late a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: second time. And so he gives it to me, and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I go like, dude, I just eat that fish. It
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: was good. I don't need anything else. It was a

• 21:41
  Speaker 1: He who I've never said, Yeah, he took the chicken sandwich.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if he chewed it or just
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: straight straight up his nose. I think he may have
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: inhaled it, because I didn't see any more of it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: It was gone.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: He did it like a snake, just sort of he

  Speaker 2: It just was spicier than what I had anticipated.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: You ate twice?

• 24:24
  Speaker 2: This was a game where hop I'm gonna get into
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the weeds on some of this stuff, as we like
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: to do, but I thought there were a couple overarching
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: themes that you can point to and say that's what
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: won the game. First was Jasper Floyd's performance. As you mentioned,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: it was just lights out on both ends, and we
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: had talked about him going into the game, how important
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: he was going to be, especially on the defensive end.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: He was. I'll get into him specifically. So that was one.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Number two. The only little stretch where Westerninia struggled. You
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: alluded to it. It was the first five minutes of the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: second half. And the reason they did is because they
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: were Westerning was turning the ball over and UCF was
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: converting that into points the other way. So you're right
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: that the pace had picked up and their conversion and
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: then it stopped and this changed the game. You ready
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: for this number for our first one of the day. Yes,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: in the final fifteen minutes and fourteen seconds of the
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: second half, West Virginia had one turnover. Wow, it went
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: nearly eight minutes without turning it over, which exactly coincided
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: with you climbing back in the game. So as we
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: thought coming into this game, you take care of the
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: ball that eliminates a big part of their offense, you're
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: going to be in great shape. So there was that
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: little stretch where you were stumbling and turning it over
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: at a high rate, and then it just stopped. You
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: shut the water off with that, and then it's smooth
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: sailing from there. That was one and two, number three,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: And I've said this for the last I don't know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: three or four podcasts, maybe more. Harlan obo Haa's ability
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: to understand this defensive system and perform at an elite
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: level has changed this team, and it changed the game
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: the other night. There was a vast difference when he
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: was in there clogging up that lane. And here's what
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: was huge. He went nearly twelve minutes of game time
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: the other night without coming out. So you talk about
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: a guy that's played his way into playing longer stretches
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: of time, I give him an immense amount of credit
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: credit Jason Martinez strength coaches. We've talked about Harlan changing
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: his body and the fact that he could go nearly
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: twelve minutes and stay on the floor absolutely change the game.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Here's the number to back this up. West Virginia was
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: down fourteen when he exited the game. When he came
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: back in, westernam was down fourteen by the time he
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: left the.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Game twelve minutes later, up four.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: An eighteen point swing with Big Harlan on the floor
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: and defensively where it showed up. What I mean by
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: that is you have Jasper, who I've said for the
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: whole season one of the best on ball defenders in
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the league, going against folks who loves the pick and
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: roll and loves to get in the lane. Well, that's
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: a two pronged approach for West Virginia. First, it's on
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: ball and Jasper and I'll talk about him specifically in
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: a minute. The second part is when Harlan comes up
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: and presents himself, so it's not that hard double that
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: some teams run. It's a show yourself and stop the penetration,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: but still be able to get back and guard the
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: seven to two John Bowl and he Harlan is doing
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: that at such an elite level right now. His ability
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: to know where to be position wise, where to drop,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: when to press, when to fly back, that just wasn't
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: there in June, guys, And some have said you're allowed
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to get better. I think I've heard that before. I
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: heard that and defense, and Harlan in particular has changed
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: how this team plays defense. And he did the other night.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: If you just look at the if you just glanced
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: at the stat line, you'd say, oh, he didn't score
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: any points, but his impact was extremely significant during that stretch.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: So that's what we often say. You can win and
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: affect games by things other than scoring baskets. And he's
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: a great example. Had the best plus minus on the team,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: didn't score a basket.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Plus fourteen.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so when you watch that, when you watch games,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: there are things, Yeah, plus eighteen. I think about no,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: plus eighteen in that stretch right there.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fourteenth for the game.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: There are ways to affect the game, especially how West
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Virginia plays and how important the defensive end was. And
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think that should go unnoticed. It wasn't just
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: a performance. The ability to stay on the floor for
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: twelve minutes in what was a highly leveraged game, back
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: and forth emotional guys were gassed, and he fought through
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: that and stayed on the floor changed.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: The game thousand percent. Right, Yep, totally agree. That's one
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: of the big things. Ross does hit a lot. He
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: thinks he completely understands why. But people, all of us,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: fans all, we always look at how many points? How
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: many points he says. He says, it's I understand why,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: he said, but there are things that people do that
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: determine the outcome of games as right there. Harlan is
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the perfect case study in that.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: It's not the first time he's done it either, so
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: his ability to clog that middle is just invaluable. I
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: continue to be impressed with this staff, the way it
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: draws up offense to attack specific matchups. I've said this
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: now for months, very nbasque. They identify the matchups where
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: they feel they have the advantage, and they run specific
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: things to get you into that advantage. And they continued
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: to do it the other night. We could talk for
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: an hour on what some of these were. I'll save
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: him for a later discussion later in the year. Maybe
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: we'll get into you just specifically He.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Just gets so giddy. He just gets giddy when he
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: knows when he knows who they're going against, Like he
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: sits in the meeting, he hears who they're going to
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: go again, and then the game happens and they attack
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: that person and he just giggles. He just giddy inside
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: of himself.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Just see guys just artful how they find the matchup
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: and guys on the floor understand and listen. That's not
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: just you can't just get up and say we want
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: to go after this guy. That takes understanding when it's
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: happening in real time to get the ball to the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: spot where you have the advantage. And that's the art
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: form of the offense. And it's been really good. And
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: it happened the other night and some of this isolation
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: stuff that we do is really valuable. Like the other night,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: one of the big shots was Jasper Floyd three from
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the wing in front of us, right wing by the
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: way three that well.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: There's a textual healing question about right wing three.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because we talked about that last game. I'll get
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: into that biggest, one of the biggest shots in the game.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: So that came because below gets the ball and it
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: wasn't one of those straight, slow, methodical back ends, although
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: there were a couple of those. And where that works
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: is the clock is running down and Below's pounding it
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: and the defenses I've said many times, has to make
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: a decision. What are you going to do? Are you
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: going to stay and leave Bilo on an island he
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: can go score, which he did, or are you going
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: to bring a double? And sometimes you do nothing and
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: still get caught. And on that possession, UCF did below
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: caught it faced up. There was a little bit of
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: a collapse, but all five guys were staring at below.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Remember that video we did not long ago, happened again.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: All five guys are watching below. Jasper's in his spot
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: pass whips across the lane to Jasper, who didn't hesitate
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: for a second. Boom knocks in a three major moment
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: in that game, which leads us into Jasper Floyd who
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: is returning home. You mentioned on the broadcast sixty plus
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: people in attendance from Florida.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Dans and fans. Birthday. Oh really, Dad's birthday was Saturday,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Valentine's Day.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Great guy Jasper was elite offensively seventeen points five rebounds,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: just tremendous two steals. To add to that, he was
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: really good when he had to be good and trolling
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: the ball, running that offense, but then scoring on top
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: of that again taking advantage of some matchups throughout the night. Defensively.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: You mentioned folks, very good player themis folks.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: But he couldn't have been more frustrated in that first half.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Zero points, four turnovers there in the first half finishes
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: seven of sixteen with six turnovers, had a minus eight
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: plus minus, and you could see at the end he
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: got completely frustrated. Even some of those shots he made
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: were some very high degree of difficulty, and that's one
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: of the pieces of magic that Jasper brings. You might score,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: but there're gonna be some difficult shots over him. He
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: thought that was evident.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: He literally was talking to anything, and whether they were
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: moving or not, he was talking to anyone and everyone.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: They got into his head. Oh yeah, they got into
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: his head. And he did have a great second half,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: but six turnovers over the course of that game. That
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't a typical They got discombobulated, they did.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: They did talk about chance more. For a second, I
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: thought he was You mentioned him he was a bold
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: of energy when he came into that game in that
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: first half, finishes six of ten from the field, gave
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: you twelve points, and had two blocks two block shots
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: that were critical, and I just thought he gave you
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: some a great boost when you needed something there in
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the first half to get going. And again he continues
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: to have a really productive season and did a great job.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get into some of the specifics here
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: of the game and some of the things we talked
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: about on the last podcast. In the preview episode, we
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: said going in Hopy that I thought this was a
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: game where you would get some open looks based on
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: what the numbers showed you. If they held, West Virginia
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: should have had an opportunity to get back in the
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: mix with some open looks. We know they were due
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: to make some threes. I thought when Honor banged that
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: first three home, I thought, all right, UCF's in for
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: a long night. Now he's cranked up. Then he went cold.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: He went cold again until they led him back in
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: the game. And it's hard to keep elite shooters down
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: for that long and Honor came through. But here's what
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: we talked about the other day. UCF gives up the
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: fourth most unguarded catch and shoots per game in the
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Big Twelve, teams shooting just thirty five percent on those threes.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: West Virginia got eight on guarded catch and shoots in
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: that game. That's the second most in the last nine
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: games and the third most in Big Twelve play. So
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: as we thought shots were available, now, UCF dodged some
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: bullets there because West Virginia just went three of eight
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: on those shots, so thirty eight percent slightly higher than
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: what teams have been making against them. But that's one
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: of those that could have been a bigger lead for
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: West Virginia if they'd knocked down five or eight or
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: six of eight, as seemingly every team does against West Virginia.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: So that came to fruition. We thought that was going
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: to happen. Flip that around for just a second. West
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Virginia only gave UCF two on guarded catch and shoots
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: on the on the during the game. That's tied for
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: the second fewest in a game all season for UCF.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: They had this many points that many zero if you're
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: not watching on video, zero on guarded points on catch
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: and shoots. The only only time that's happened to UCF
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: all seasons. Great job there. We talked coming in that
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: West Virginia gives up the excuse me, UCF gives up
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: the fourth highest points per possession in the Big Twelve
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: to pick and roll ball handlers. We said, Hoppy, that
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: was probably going to be a good matchup for West Virginia.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: They liked the pick and roll. Opponents were shooting thirty
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: nine percent from three off the pick and roll, and
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I said, that's going to be a great spot for
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Honor to get the ball. Put him in pick and
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: roll situations. They're going to have trouble guarding him. On
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: the game. West Virginia sixteen points just from the pick
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: and roll ball handler, the most they've had off that
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: set since January twenty fourth against Arizona. Third best points
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: per possession off pick and roll in Big Twelve play
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: for West Virginia, and Honor Huff a big night as
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: the pick and roll ball handler, thirteen points just off
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: that set, his second most all season, and he got
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: it cranked up again. You give that guy some space
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: and let him see some shots go down from the
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: free throw line and look out, and he busted out again.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: We talked about UCF wanting to get shots in the
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: paint and at the rim, hoppy, the Knights were good
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: at the rim thirteen of eighteen. But here's what I
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: think one of the game. Defensively, UCF was just three
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: of fourteen on shots in the paint, so not at
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: the rim, but in the paint, three of fourteen. And
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: then here's the companion piece that goes with that, as
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: UCF was third in this league in second chance points,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: so here's the companion piece. You're forcing misses from shots
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: in the lane. UCF only got one offensive rebound on
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: those eleven misses, so you limited them in those spots
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: to one rebound. And Westreet has been great in defensive rebounding,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: top twenty five nationally, so everything was contested, many shots
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: were forced up, and then you didn't allow a really
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: good offensive rebounding team to get a second shot ballgame
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: right there. So I thought that was really really significant.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all good stuff.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Free throw shooting, that was a big issue the game before.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: We talked about that.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Shot well, sixteen of nineteen, right, I think.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: They're you hear me say this, sly, You're probably tired
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: saying this, but there's there should be a nuanced discussion
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: around your free throw shooting. We often quoted as a
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: team number, but I've said many times it matters who's
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: at the line for you. West Virginia fifteen of its
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: twenty eight free throw attempts against Texas Tech were Chance
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: and Harlan. Well, seven footers aren't traditionally great free throw shooters,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: although Harlan is really nice. Such Chance misses them too.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: All right, fine, they missed some free throws. You got
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Trason and honor to the free throw line twelve times
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: in this game and down the stretch.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I keep keep talking, such.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: How may they make twelve? Thank you twelve of twelve
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: in that you finish the game sixteen of nineteen, and
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: it was a major factor. You go sixteen of nineteen
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: from the line. Those are free points. So good job
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: shooting from the free.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Here's a question, and not to rain on this parade,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: because I think it was a great parade. Is how
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: concerned are you about three point shooting the last four games?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: You're nineteen of eighty five, twenty two percent. You made
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: them late in this game, which was key. So Tony,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I'll start with you.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: At this point. You've played enough games. You are what
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: you are, and so take a look at that number
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: right now, that's what it's going to be. No, No,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I'm saying the totality of the season. Are you in
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a cold piece right now? Yeah,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: you're in a cold piece. But we'll come back. They'll
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: make shots here before the scene's over. But they're not
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: going to exceed where they've been. We've played enough games.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: That's what their average is going to be. Right.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'd like to come out and make more threes.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: But again, if you're playing West Virginia matters how teams
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: are going to defend you. This isn't just West Virginia
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: suddenly can't shoot threes. They're attempting to take away your
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: three point shooters. And what has happened is your two
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: point percentage has skyrocketed. Your other guys are picking it up.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: So pick your poison. You've won a couple of those
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: games without making any threes, right, and so you can
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: see what happens in both Cincinnati and UCF. Sometimes the
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: volume of makes doesn't matter, but it's when they happen
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: and how they come. An honor can get so blistering hot,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: so fast in particular or that that can change some games.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: So in this league, at this level, if you want
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: to take something away, you can take it away. And
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: so teams are going to do that. You've got to
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: find other ways to win. And that's where I'm impressed
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: with West Virginia is these aren't just missing of threes.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: So take example, West Virginia's three point attempt rate, the
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: number of shots that are three pointers was right up
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: near fifty percent for most of the non conference. Well,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: teams are pressing out on you and taking away that
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: advantage you have. So you got a game the other night,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: you tod sixty field goal attempts, only twenty three of
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: them were from three. So you want to go ahead
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and put all your resources of that. West Virginia's going
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: to attack you in different ways and they're starting to
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: do that. So I can't stop everything, can't stop everything
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: finding ways to win without making your threes, and eventually
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: that'll either stay like it is, which I would if
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I was defensively guarding WESTERNI I'd still take try and
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: take on our way and if you and if you
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: can beat me another way, so do it. So you
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: just got to keep doing it that way. So I'd
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: love to come out and make thirteen threes because then
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I think you win by fifteen. But until then, you're
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: finding other ways to do it. All right, let's have
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: this discussion because I'll say this, and I wasn't going
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: to do this. I wasn't going to do this yet,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: but then I started looking at it and it just
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: raised some questions in my mind. West Virginia has put itself.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: And let's talk about this because I know people listening
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: want to talk about this. Ross Hodge won't deal with
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: you on this or talk about it. In fact, I tried,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: we go won't talk and I get it. But let's
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: talk about postseason as we start to get into this
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: time of year. It's a nice quad one win on
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: the road, right, you now have four quad one wins.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: You bumped up with a quad two win here with
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Colorado's recent win. Pretty good. Let's stay on quad one
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: for just a second. Said yet, four If you look
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: at numbers twenty five through fifty four in the net rankings,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Tony West Virginia sits at fifty four. If you go
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: numbers twenty five through fifty four, and I think I've
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: been told multiple times from this committee that who you
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: beat matters and that quad wins are really important. Yeah, okay,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: four of them numbers twenty five to fifty four in
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: the NET rankings. There's only four teams that have more
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: wins in quad one than West Virginia does. There's only
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: twenty four nationally that have more quad one wins in
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: West Virginia, majority of them in the top twenty five
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Western News Not there are twenty four teams ranked above
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: West Virginia in the NET that have fewer quad one
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: wins have a big number. Surprise me a little bit.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Just looking on bracketmatrix dot com, which I had sworn
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: off after last year.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: When they were completed. Let you still go.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: There completely roll so the aggregation to refresh your memory.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: That's just an aggregate site. They take, however, many one
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: hundred and sum brackets from different people and they rarely
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: miss They get the field mostly right. Every year they
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: happened somehow they missed it. Last year West Virginia was
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: not in not in. So I was just looking through
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: that just I'll start my perusing we get towards March
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: and trying to find some teams in here that are
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: are like and similar. So I pulled up UCF, right,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: I thought, you see F, you you just beat them
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: right in their building.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: They're still ahead of us, and Ken Palm got.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Another game against them coming up, which will which will
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: be important down the stretch here. But they're solidly in
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: saw some Jill Lonardi stuff and some other bracketology this weekend.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: They're solidly. I mean, they're not even a question hop
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: they're in the field, solidly in the field. Have the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: same number of Quad one wins as West Virginia. They
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: do have one more Quad one Quad two if you
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: combine them. They have the same number of road wins,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: which the committee in the past has told you is important.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: UCF has one more road loss and both are ten
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: and zero against Quad three and Quad four opponents. Western
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: is still not in any of the brackets. They're not
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: even listed in the others in consideration they're at bracket Matrix.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: But I thought that that was one I won't bog
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: us down with all the comparisons of teams in the
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: net and how they got above West Virginia in the net,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: But it was just I find it interesting here. You know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I'm into the numbers HOPSI I've got to defend the numbers,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: but I look at some numbers and I find some
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: curious in the net that will continue to watch. Now,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: all that said, from a West Virginia perspective, you have
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: got work to do. There's plenty of work to do.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: But I know people were going to ask about that.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: That was a good win. That's a big quad one
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: road win. And if anything is supposed to matter to
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: the committee, it's that you still need some more wins.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: You've got some games coming up that can rise you
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: in these net rankings. Hopefully, if you take care of
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: that business, you'll take some nice leaps up there. But
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: it just was. It is curious when you start to
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: examine the net and what they tell you should matter
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: and it's not yet reflected in those net rankings.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw one service ESPN had a breakdown. They
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: say West Virginia about twenty five percent chance right now.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: To Brad's point, there's six games left in league play.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: You do have a chance because you've got some high
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: level games coming up at TCU. You are here to BYU.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: You have opportunities on front to day. You could make
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: a case where you could do this. But yeah, so
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: you're at least in the discussion. That's where I would
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: leave it. Right now, you're in the discussion to get
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: yourself solidly on the bubble. You have a lot of
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: games to win. They can't keep you out hypothetically, well,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: well just restate that so seriously, they can't keep you
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: out if you win the rest of your games this season,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: which is not totally out of the realm of possibility,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: although you have not had that prolonged of a winning streak.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's there, it's possible, it's possible. Just
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: leave it at that. That's all you can ask.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: One last thing I'll say on this macro side of things.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to continue to talk about this. Middle of February,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: you're down the last three weeks of this season. You're
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: tied for fourth and the Big twelve guys again, an
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: entirely new staff, one hundred percent replacement of points and rebounds,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: an entirely new roster. You're tied for fourth. There's only
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: five teams above you with more conference mens wins. And
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: here's just one side note tells you what this league
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: is like defensively, So you wonder why you need a
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: team that can guard and play defense in this league.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: West Virginia is sixth right now in Big twelve in
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: defensive efficiency. It's winning games because of its defense. It's
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: six in this league in defensive efficiency, so it's still
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: upper half. But sixth twenty fifth nationally tells you. It
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: tells you how good this league is. You're sixth in
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: the league and your twenty fifth nationally in that category.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Go ahead saying no, I.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: Just I look at these numbers too, not as in
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: depth as you did, BRD. It's just one thing that
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: might be missing, like you're getting no you get and
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: this doesn't have anything to do with the committee, I guess,
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: but you get you get no national attention because except
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: for Kansas, you don't have several signature wins. If you
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: could beat BYU at home, right, it's something like that,
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: but you don't have like a couple of these other
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: I think UCF has they beat U, Texas Tech.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Kansas both at home. Kansas. So here's a.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Deal, and that's why they got buzzed.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Here's the deal.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: That's why they got ex.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has no significant non conference victory. That hurt
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Does that hurt you think that hurts you. Well got
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: you got two significant non conference wins last year, keffieah
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: the tournament correct, So is it non conference matter or not?
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Seriously, So, I'm just saying that's why West Virginia has
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: been viewed initially right for most of the season because
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: they never had that Hey they had that win against Clemson,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: or they had that win, you know, against Ohio State.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: They never have had that dowry to get themselves into
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the conversation. Again, to my point, while that is true
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and that will never change for the rest of the season,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: they're not going to redo those games. You do still
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity and a presentation. You could make your
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: case that we got hotter than hot at the end
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: of the season, and that would be your statement. That
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: would be the way that you would get into this
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: year's field. Do you just all of a sudden go
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: on a heater and people go like, whoa, they've done this,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: They've got this, So numerically you still can get this done.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Will it be easy? No, But it's there for you
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: so you can ask, yeah, it's fair. So like you
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: can ask three guys before the game. Brought to is
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: by Comacs Business Systems Comac's Business Systems has state of
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: the art business phone systems. They can help you communicate
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: within your business. Is it the time for you to
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: make the change? Is your old system sticky dirty got
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of fingernails on the keep keepad dirt. You
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: don't need that. At least give them a call and
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: find out what new business phone systems can do for
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: you and your business. Visit them at COMAXWV dot com.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: That is Comax WV dot com Tony.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: To wrap that up, just go back though to what
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Coachon said after the game is within Brad's going to
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: preview this Utah game. Don't don't lose sight of that game.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: This game to me looms huge. Which one the Utah?
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: You going, yeah, I'll be there.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Really yeah, sitting up top where you're sitting.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: I hope to be sitting but behind you, guys, excuse me,
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: sitting in the front front front, behind us. I'm spoiled.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: I like sitting there all right. If you're going to
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the game, two things. One, if you're going to the
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: game on Wednesday, you know where Hoppy's going to be sitting.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: He'll be right behind us. He wants to do autographs.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Go ask him for an autograph or get your picture made.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: And secondly, and Ross has said this a couple of times.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: If it's a weird start eight thirty, I don't ask
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: me why TV obviously eight thirty. If you're not going
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: to be able to use your tickets, and you do
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: have tickets, please I try to get them to someone
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: that could use them, so you get a lot of
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: folks in the stands. There's a game this week, eleven
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: o'clock eastern start. Correct, who's at Texas Tech? In Texas
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Tech eleven hard time?
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: Well, it's out, but it's out west somewhere.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but still it's eleven o'clock hard time. It's yeah,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: but it's ten o'clock for Texas Tech fans. I mean
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: that's a late start for them. That's what I'm saying.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Put two West Coast teams in that late slot.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Don't.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: At least it's not an East Coast team in that slot.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: But that makes me crazy, makes me cry. When they
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: have these conference rival games. You have to play on stats.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say go ahead.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Sorry, spreads on stats continued timed out for a preview
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: of the Utah game.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: That was my fault. For thinking maybe you forgot something
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: because that never happened. So I apologize completely there. What
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: about a first talk about Utah for a second? Down
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: to eight players have had some injuries. They're struggling, as
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, but you know it's again and this this
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: isn't coach speak here, Hopey. This is a team that
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: very nearly beat Cincinnati yesterday on the road. It had
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: them beat. Not not quite sure how they didn't win
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: that game. They had them this fall shop. They played
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Kansas tough. I mean this, you're going to have to
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: play and you're right on the on the plee for
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: the crowd. This needs to be a good environment. You
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: cannot take this lightly. Finish your business here. They've really
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: got one of those. They've got a big three in Dawes,
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Terrence Brown, McHenry. They get nearly seventy percent of their
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: points out of those three players. Some interesting numbers on them.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: They average nearly eighty seven points per game in wins. Wow,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: shooting nearly forty percent from three. So guard the chances
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: are you're not going to get eighty seven on West Virginia.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't think. So that'll be something to keep an
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: eye on here. They're nearly sixty percent from two when
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: they win, so they're good inside as well. They're gonna
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: get that West Virginia defense. It's twelfth nationally and two
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: point field goal percentage, so this is going to be
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: a good on good matchup there and losses, they average
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: seventy points. They shoot thirty three percent from three and
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: just forty eight percent from two, So if you're looking
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: for some numbers, hold them under seventy. Do what you
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: do from two, and you're gonna like how those numbers
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: add up. They've been efficient in transition, although they don't
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: do it much, thirteenth in the league in transition possessions
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: per game, but fifth in points per possession. When they
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: get those opportunities that will come back. There's a key
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: to help limit that. I'll come to that here in
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: just a second. Watch the pick and roll. Utah uses
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: the ball handler in the pick and roll more than
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: every team in the Big Twelve, and they like to
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: shoot the three out of that forty two percent from
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: three on those sets. But guess what they're getting. West
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Virginia defense that we just talked about is pretty good
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: against the pick and roll. Fifth and the Big twelve
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: and points per possession against the ball handler team shooting
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: just twenty five percent from three against West Virginia. So
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: that's a Jasper and a Harlan in particular, but it's
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: the whole team. How you close that laye off that'll
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: be important. Here's one thing to watch that should give
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: you a little bit of pause that it's not just
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: a slam dunk. Utah is really good on guarded catch
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: and shoots. They are top four percent nationally in points
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: per shot when they're guarded on catch and shoots. They're
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: gonna get guarded. They're not gonna get a lot of
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: open looks. But they've been making those thirty eight percent
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: from three on guarded catching shoots. So this is a
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: team that makes tough shots, so that will be important
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: in this game. Defensively, for the Utes, they don't force
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: many turnovers. In fact, they're bottom twenty five nationally twenty
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: bottom twenty five teams. So when Western eight doesn't turn
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: it over, as I just outlined against UCF, things generally
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: turn out well for WVU. So that's where that transition
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: comes in. If you don't turn it over a lot
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: hot they can't get out and run a bunch, which
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: they are efficient in. Then they don't have to go
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: against your half court defense, which has been stifling. That's
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: what got UCF the lead the other night, right when
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: they got into the half court. The Knights struggled when
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: they got turnovers and pushed it, which they're very efficient
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: and good at. They could use that talent and athleticism.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: They got up and down and ran. So don't let
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: the Utes get turnovers on you and get out and
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: get easy buckets. If they're gonna score, make them hit
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: those tough guarded shots defensively. For Utah on this one,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: it's numberget I'm gonna I'm gonna go down with the
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: ship on this The making or missing of unguarded catch
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: and shoots is just continues to be maddening. You are
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: hanging around the NCAA tournament bubble and teams are still
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: making a lot of shots against you. Like listen to
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: this number on guarded catch and shoots against Utah, teams
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: are only shooting thirty one percent guard unguarded. They're struggling
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: to win games and teams aren't even making shots against them.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: West Virginia opponents continue to shoot a league best forty
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: seven percent in those situation, that's a sixteen percent gap
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: for no reason other than teams are missing shots. Utah
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: gives up nearly two times as many of those per
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: game as West Virginia does, and teams aren't making him
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: against them. So I will say.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Again, when's your regression coming.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: There's got to be regression.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: You got some other night. You got a little bit
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: against UCF. They didn't get any points on on guarded
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: shoots against you, so it was a small sample size,
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: but you didn't get it started there. You are due
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: at home for a team that's struggling from three against
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: a team that has owed some positive regression. If you're
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: the opponent, somebody's due to make unguarded catch and shoots
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: against Utah. If they give them up to West Virginia
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: in your own building, then this would be a nice
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: night to hit a couple. So look for some unguarded
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: catch and shoots hoppy and then maybe you actually make them.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Utah is fifteenth in this league defensively in two point percentage,
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: UCF was sixteenth in the league, and West Virginia got
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: fifty one percent of its points in the paint on Saturday.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: I would expect This is another one of those games.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: If they want to try and take that perimeter game away,
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: you should have some success inside, as teams have had
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: all season against Utah. So I like that particular matchup.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I mentioned Brown, Dawes, and McHenry. Those are guys to watch.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Don Dawes in particulars a guy you watched last year
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: play against Utah. You liked him. You come out of
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: a couple times during games last year.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: He was how much you liked him?
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Six', nine, athletic seventy one percent from. Two he can
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: step out and make the, three as he's done a
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: few times this. Year he's good on the, glass so
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: he'll be a. Handful brown and McHenry are their backcourt.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Guys brown takes about a third of their, Shots McHenry
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: thirty percent of their. Shots mckenry's their best three point
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: shooter at thirty nine. Percent there's a quick look at the.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Utes all.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Right so they were In cincinnati On, sunday make their
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: way down here today they go.
• 53:47

• 53:54
  Speaker 1: yeah two gamers for. Them you hope they get, stale
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: they don't like each, other they probably.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Won't they will probably. Play we keep asking for. Teams

• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: threes made free, throws limited. Turnovers, brad what were we
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: from the right wing? Shot i'll listen to your post.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: Game, yeah that's a good question because we did talk
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: about the right wing three being a spot that would
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: probably play a role in the. Game so thank you for.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Asking you want some, numbers, yes as we thought it was,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: available thirteen three point attempts For West virginia from the
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: right wing three thirteen threes that came out to twenty
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: two percent of all Of West virginia's shots came from
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: the right, Wing SO i thought it might be an important.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Spot it Was West virginia only made three of those
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: three of thirteen from that, spot but obviously one of
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: them one of the biggest of the game When jasper
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: hit it from, There so it played an important role both.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: Ways it was a frequently used spot as we thought
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: it might, be and one of the bigger threes of
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: the game came even though you didn't have great overall shooting,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: success just three of thirteen from.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: There good, question and how many deep right corner threes
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: do we? GET i can only think of the honor
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: and one great comeback reps were a little tiki tak
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: fourth foul On floyd was. Ridiculous that guy ran, him
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: ran into him like a fullback sum by fullbacks on
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Like perreopolis phil. Text if someone needs to tell this
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: team they don't have to always spot the other team
• 1:01:44
